Hi Brewers,
I have never had a clear beer yet. My last batch was an AHS Anniversary English Pale Ale. I fermented it for 10 days, secondary for 2 weeks. Bottled for 2 weeks today. Put in fridge 3 days ago. The mouthfeel is good, but has a harsh after taste. And, it is not clear! For the first time, i also ordered irish moss, hoping that would help my problem. But it did not. When i do a batch, i bottle 4 clear bottles also. When it is warm, the bottle looks clear, but after in the fridge, it comes out cloudy.
The beer still has a yeasty taste to it. I do have to admit though, it was fermented at a higher level than expected. 80-85F So am sure that may effect the taste. And conditioned at the same temp too. It has a fruity smell to it, but the after taste is yeasty. Is it still young? Or did i do something wrong? Thanks!
